Emunah Killer, Money Making Segula, Bad Luck, Wasting Seed TeShuva Guide - STUMP THE RABBI (38)

[Music] very good to see everyone thank you for coming to learn with me uh we are in our Wednesday Wednesday night sh in Shion in Sunny Isles uh doing our questions and answers um hopefully you guys have uh some questions um the uh you know few small uh little updates uh the uh somebody sent me today um a uh report that came out about the situation that's happening uh with the Corona virus and uh they said that um you know everybody knows that China is a uh um you know very unique uh country if you will to say the least where they don't uh allow their citizens to communicate like uh the freedom that we have here in America and you have in other countries few but some other countries out there so if you say anything bad about the country your life is on the line sometimes uh not even on the line your life is just gone so anyway there is a news organization of some kind that uh leaked out a report that uh the numbers of uh victims for this Corona virus that's being reported which is only about 300 deaths is a complete lie and the number of sick uh diagnosed with it about 14 15,000 is also a complete lie uh by a a factor of 10 by a factor of 10 uh you're talking about uh tens of thousands of people have already died uh and uh there's at least 150,000 that have the virus right now just there we're not calculating anywhere else uh but then uh when they uh a few hours later literally I think it was less than 12 hours later the uh number reported on this site changed again to what the government approved went back to 300 now this has happened many times throughout uh history with them where they changed certain things uh this is actually part of the reason for example where uh when I was in a business world uh when it came to Investments um everyone wanted to invest in China but generally speaking nobody did uh unless you knew somebody that's really important over there because over there if you want to do business you have to bribe one of the 3 million uh mayors that they have without bribes you're not going to make it and even to invest into that market you have different classes of shares there's a shares that are only available to Citizens B shares that are uh you know are available to uh certain types of people and sea Shares are available to the uh to anyone else outside of the country the only problem is the C shares don't move meaning you're just parking your money there and it's uh it's like you're burying it uh uh unless it goes down then they take your money uh but uh needless to say there's a lot of business to made over there you just have to be very very careful uh and uh very connected uh I remember there was a uh group of uh CEOs there was a a group that I was a part of a group of CEOs that would travel to different places uh and uh one of the trips that they had uh I didn't attend it but the one of the trips they had they went to China group of you know a bunch of CEOs was probably at least 150 CEOs from America uh went to China and uh the guy organizing the trip that has been in China many many times he says the first thing that we got to do as soon as we land we got to meet a few Mayors why these are the people if you want to do business there these are the people you need to meet you can't do business there without it cannot do business because your money is never going to come out you you could you could send it there it's not coming out though so point is is that the things that stress people the most is the news you know they watch the news and uh the news's job is to stress you out tell you about all the bad stuff that's happening in the world you know there's generally uh if you see good news good news does not get much coverage it's the depressing news the the anxiety-driven news that's the stuff that gets people to watch the same exact show you know for five hours straight you know whether it's a Shalom a September 11th or it's a market crash or it's some type of uh uh political issue whatever it is they'll repeat the same thing 500 times every hour on the hour and people are going to listen to all five times why just in case the the fifth time he mentions an extra two or three words you know and people stress them out over over the news a lot you know and uh you see as soon as something comes out that hits a person's heart uh if they don't have any inem then what ends up happening is that it affects their life immediately the next day they wake up already stressed out the next day they already start off their day on on the wrong foot the next day they already start with a uh you know pessimism about uh where where is the future what am I going to do how I'm going to do it how I'm going to make it and all types of things all types of junk that enters our mind so the two points I'd like to make about this is that number one it's it's all fake news all of it there is no such thing as fake news it's all fake you know people think you know since since Trump coined the term fake news you know people like to say oh yeah this thing that's fake news no but that's real but that's fake no it's all fake it's all fake News why because there's always somebody that has a bias that's manipulating what's being reported to people what's uh what's said what's not said why is it said why is it said is a specific time you know it happened in the market many many times I remember one time there was a uh um a company we were investing in uh one of the first big ideas that we were investing in a company called nexttel and uh this idea you know I thought it was a brilliant idea and I thought it was worth a lot more money than it did and um I uh recommended to clients to start investing into this thing one day a uh report from uh Goldman Sachs which was uh still is one of the most respected investment banks in the world uh they have some of the smartest most connected people out there uh if not the most connected and uh they came out with a report with a sell recommendation meaning that this is garbage this company don't invest and it sell if you have it get rid of it so now if I come out with the report no one really cares but if Goldman Sachs comes out with a report everybody cares so immediately the stock dropped by like 50% like as if the company's declaring bankruptcy they're not declaring bankruptcy they're fine they had cash they had all types of good things but oh gome Zach doesn't like them oh the stock crashed everybody's panicking my phone is ringing off the hook the only good thing I had is I didn't have that many clients yet at the time so it wasn't that many phone calls but still all the recommend people were panicking we reviewed all of our facts we saw there's nothing wrong with this we continued uh investing and uh it ended up working out really well we made about 10 times our money but the funniest part is what we found out along the way is that right after they uh said sell recommendation you know the uh the institutional investors the the big investors they have to report what they bought and what they sold uh every few months uh depending on who and what it is and but if they own more than a certain percentage they have to report it right away SEC filings anyway what I found out along the way after everything calmed down already I got some more people to invest it's now that it's a discounted price and so on and so forth where we find out shortly after they came out with this recommendation the research Department of Goldman Sachs came out with this recommendation that this is garbage the investment Department bought 6 and5 million shares but for Discount now why drop 50% now if I did that I'd be in jail till this day that stock manipulation but when you have uh you know your best friends the president and his wife and his kids and his the kids that weren't born and the grandkids that weren't born and all of his friends and everybody else you can do whatever you want point being it's all fake news all of it do not waste your time watching news for even a minute a minute I promise you if you need to know it it'll arrive at your desk anyway if there's a war you'll hear something you hear something don't waste your time unless you need it for your business unless you need it for your business you're in an investment business you're in a business of business and so on you you need to know certain things but even then even then uh you should do it as uh as as least as possible just uh uh less frequently because it's just going to stress you out and the reality is the only thing that you see in a newspaper every day whether it's the Wall Street Journal or it's the anti-semitic New York Times or any of these other newspapers the only the only thing you see is that the information is the same just that the names changed they tell you a bunch of people died just every day just the names changed tell you a bunch of people decare bankruptcy just the names Chang bunch of people made money just the names Chang bunch of people are get getting arrested or getting promotions just the names change it's the same nonsense all the time it's the same thing all the time so when you spend any time whatsoever in the news you're literally wasting your life which you could spend that time and the Judgment of heaven will one day ask you uh how come you spend a half hour an hour every day reading the news but not a half hour an hour a day learning toah you can't tell me you didn't read cuz you read the paper for a half hour an hour you can't tell me that you can't watch because you watch the news for a half hour an hour so you can watch a sh for a half hour an hour you always say you don't have time you had time to watch CNN you had what time to watch CNBC how come they're going to ask you now the second reason the more pertinent reason the the the quiet killer of watching the news is that it's simply an emuna killer when you watch the news you are in essence taking whatever you have and you're throwing it in a toilet why because now they're going to tell you a bunch of things and all of those things are going to manipulate your beliefs you believe that things are going to be good they're telling you no you believe that things are going to be bad they're telling you it's going to be even worse you believe this they're going to tell you something else and it hurts youra because now you're thinking when you watch the news you're thinking that the future is in the hands of those people on the screen whether it be the president or or his friends or some newscast or some scientist or whatever it is some reporter you think that the future is in this guy's hands in her hands you think it's in their hands because they said something that caused things to happen or they're reporting something that caused things to happen that's going to affect you you have to understand when a tree when hasem decides for a seed to turn into a tree Hashem has to review all of the seeds and deide after all of the seeds are PL are are planted not all of the seeds turn into trees or even to flowers Hashem has to look and review every single seed and decide which one of them is going to turn into a tree and which one of them is just going to die do nothing some animals going to come eat it bugs are going to eat it for lunch something but it's not going to be a tree he decides every single tree so when you ever if you ever saw farmers and how they grow and they harvest every uh every season you see when they throw trees they don't do uh one seed at a time they take a bunch they huge amounts they don't count one two three huge amounts they plant huge cuz they know who knows if this one's going to work that one's going to work they don't know they throw a bunch of them now it takes a long time time for a tree to grow a long time for a tree to grow now one day that tree is going to bear fruit hasem decides if those fruits are going to be bitter or they're going to be sweet he decides that tree is also going to have leaves and those leaves have a season and sometimes they fall they fall each year they fall off the tree before the leaf falls off the tree pay attention to this before there's now imagine a tree there's lot of trees here in uh Florida and other place right you've seen trees I don't have to like give you a visual you've seen trees tree tens of thousands of leaves lots of leaves each Leaf before it falls whether it's the season or it's not the season before it falls it has to ask the Mal of the tree the Mal of the leaf there an angel on each each and every little seed each and every little leaf there's an angel next to each one of them the has to ask Hashem can I fall today can I fall please oh no I staye says no no today you're going to stay the next day Hashem what about today no no today you're gonna stay Hashem what about today a month straight he's asking Hashem today noem today no AEM today no one DayM says all right today yeah go go for it jump y he falls to the floor before a Lea falls off of a tree he has to ask for permission and you think you think that this newscaster has control of your finances has control of your health has control of the economy has control of the government has control of anything the Lea has to ask for control for for for permission you think anyone in the world has any any control of anything this was our mistake during Egypt during a time of Egypt the people were enslaved they were suffering enormous pain they were watching their kids die every day they're watching themselves being dismembered horrible things happened now finally when the Salvation came when the mhia mosenu arrived he told them okay I'm going to free you they were gunshi they weren't really sure sure no maybe yeah no eventually he brought the plagues hashem's plagues destroyed the Egyptians one plague after another the the Locust demolished their economy along with everything else that happened which is actually what Happ what's happening right now in uh in in Africa there's a plague of locust there right now they say I don't know how they count but they estimate it's going to 200 billion 200 billion locusts are simply destroying all of the Harvest over there if something is not done they're simply not going to have food because these Locust they eat they eat their body weight every day imagine you weigh what 150 250 pounds whatever you weigh imagine your food for the day to survive every day is is 200 lb you wouldn't be able to work you wouldn't be able to do anything you just be in a restaurant all day just eating all day that's what Locos do they're at a restaurant all day they don't have time to do anything else they eat all day and they destroy everything in sight anything that's edible they eat it in Egypt when Hashem sent it to them since Egypt didn't have that much Harvest you know what they did they ate the Egyptians eyes that's what they did that was lunch and breakfast and dinner until they ran out of eyes now after you see all of these plagues the Jewish people could see clearly no problem they're not even touching them the hails coming from from heaven with lava inside it the Egyptian gets hit the Jew right next to him is walking like he's walking in a park nothing affects him so after seeing all of these Miracles the least you a thing it's like a these people must believe in God when they got to the darkness plague hasem told mosenu tell all of them we're about to leave the vast majority of the of the Jewish people of the B at the time the sons of yov we talking about millions and millions of them some MIM say there were hundreds of millions of them said Moshe listen we've been slaves for so many years we suffered so much finally it's over finally the slavery is over the Egyptians are not messing with us anymore leave us alone you know yakob over here just opened a little bust over here he sells he sells candy you know UHA over there just open a little restaurant you know uh uh Steve over there he's starting uh you know skating ring everybody's starting businesses leave us alone we're finally free leave us alone we don't want to go in the desert why are we going to go in the desert we already have a city over here we have our friends living next door to us nice place everything is good the weather is good us why are you gon to go to the desert that's it's dangerous desert is dangerous last people tried to go to Desert they never came out we don't want to go to the desert M said yeah but hm says go to the he didn't ask you he said go to the desert cuz you have to go to mount son you have to get the Tor mhe tell God it's not for us if he wants the Tora wants to have the T he has to bring it to us you want to bring you want to Shield t r you have to come to my house you have to come to my house yeah but you live 15 20 minutes away okay I'll watch you on YouTube I watch you why can't you come why car doesn't work no it works but tired tired what time you go you go to sleep at 9:00 no you know usually I go to sleep 1 2 o'clock in the morning so obviously so one so come here you'll be finished at 11 12 yeah but you know doesn't like that he doesn't like it so much that our starts it happened when sent out the people now kazal tell us that any time a par starts with the word v it happened it's actually symbolic of o v says why VI says everybody that left Egypt was very sad why would you be sad you just got freed from slavery you would AEM m who the best of the best what's wrong no everybody has a cousin a brother a sister a mother a father somebody a son a daughter that died how you know everybody says because at least 80% were killed by AEM himself in a Darkness plague some say it was over 98% where they said on the best case scenario one out of every five survived the other four Hashem killed them in the dark Darkness plate cuz they didn't want to leave Egypt only one out of every five wanted to leave so he survived his four friends His Four Brothers His Four Sisters they all died Hashem buried them in Egypt but some say no it's not one out of five it's one out of 500,000 meaning two out of every million two out of every Millions so if three million three million survived you're talking about we had hundreds of millions of Jews hundreds of millions of potential Jews that were is yet there were no hides before the point being is that why didn't they want to leave they Hada problems they didn't believe they were able to survive the desert they didn't believe they're going to get parasa in a desert how I'm going to get parasa over there just open my business over here how I'm going to survive over there in the desert my house is over here how could I survive in a tent were you crazy they didn't havea now the ones that we have the ones that survived means that they are the best of them they are the best of them out of all the people that we had in Egypt however number whatever number you want to pick the ones that actually survived Egypt were the best of the best yet when we travel just a few days and arrive at yam [Music] Su they see that that the Egyptians are chasing after them and they got [Music] [Applause] scared they were scared the Egyptians are coming so the children of Israel cried out to Hashem started screaming to Hashem no hem please help her now when you really think about it doesn't make any sense what do you mean God just made all of these plagues you know we're looking from our perspective cuz we're comfortable in air conditioning here you know so we're thinking from our perspective what do you mean God just made showed you himself in the best way possible he just made a plague destroyed the biggest civilization in the world biggest economy in the world biggest army in the world made them into nothing in front of you their water turned to blood your water was stayed water frogs went inside them frogs didn't even look at you lions and bears and anacondas and all types of vicious animals were eating them alive you walking right next to it like the animals were your best friends like what and that the whole thing took a year so what why why you how are you scared what because they're back Hashem already destroyed them why wouldn't he destroy them again fake news they watched the news and they believe the news they saw the Egyptians they say ah the Egyptians are here Egyptians here oh that's the problem they started screaming to they started screaming to mosu they didn't know what to do part of them wanted to commit suicide part of them wanted to go back to be slaves and only very few from the the tribe of Yuda led by had some left being the Peter jumped into the water saying listen if Hashem brought us here to the desert and the only choice we have is either go back to being slaves or go right and left and fight a bunch of anacondas I mean the only place is to go into the ocean even though nobody here knows that to swim no one took any swimming classes while they were a slave they didn't have time so the reality is that this is the only way he went into the water and to the extent where he started swallowing water he was drowning but he believed % that hasem is going to bring Salvation and that's exactly what happened he wasn't paying attention to the news he wasn't paying attention to the weather he wasn't paying attention to a lot of things and I see in the last several years there been a couple of times where there was Major uh threats of hurricanes here in Florida I remember when they had imma over here and we brought some about in the Tor uh and um how it's actually mentioned in the tor and there was others but I remember seeing how people were panicking over here was panicking oh Rabbi what should we do is this the end should we move should we this should we that do whatever you want but uh go what are you going to do I said I'm going to stay home with my family and and I could learn were you not worried no why if hasem wants me if hasem wants something bad to happen to me it doesn't matter where I'm going to go no but what about your I'm like that is my I'm going to go learn to that's my that's my that's my that's that's the best that I can do I can't do much I could learn I could teach that's it nothing else that's my now I believed in everything went okay even though a couple of houses next to us didn't work out so well for them but for us everything was okay why runs the world not because of anything special just simply it wasn't my time and won't be for a long time if a person pays attention to the news he's bound to fall into the Trap of the Satan that's going to confuse him that someone other than hasem has control of the future and that means that his actions will start becoming manipulated by those people instead of by Hashem this is why I say when people ask me oh should we buy a Gun there's so much terrorism now there's so much anti-Semitism now and all types of other isms now should we buy a gun should we learn capua should we learn some Jiu-Jitsu should we become Jedi what should we do maybe pretend to be Darth Vader what should we do X-Men maybe I said nothing go learn Torah instead of going to kick some uh bags for an hour a day go learn to for an hour a day it'll be much better for you no but isn't is listen a lot of people did is in the Holocaust they still died [Music] why that's what Hashem wanted if all of those people that bought guns or put their money in special safety boxes in different countries and hid their money if Hashem want if that was really was going to work it would have worked then it would have worked many other times it didn't what do you think people didn't buy guns back then what do you think people didn't put their money in some uh uh special Banks which the Germans stole anyway but if all of those people instead of doing all of this fake is they would have just open a and learn sh for an hour Holocaust may have happened why they would have left their non-jewish spouse they would have left their non- kosher business they would have left their idolatry they would have left a lot of things that hasem brought to Holocaust because of now anyone says no it's not right you're not supposed to say say that why not that's to tells us tells us you have to review your actions and you how do you know what do you know what God thinks no I don't know what God thinks I know what Torah says hasem says he's going to bring bad things if we do bad when you have bad stuff happening to you as we talked about last night you have to review what you are doing why because is is is giving you a message the more you ignore the message the more this the stronger the message becomes when we waste our time watching the news and and and and acting our life based on the news so much it hurts it hurts much more than it helps no one ever went to ganeden because he was a good uh you know uh Watcher of news he's a committed Watcher subscriber for every News Channel no one goes to ganeden for subscribing even if they get the pay-per-view version still don't go there's no like special Department in heaven for pay-per-view Watchers cable Watchers it's G department for them but not geden promise you why because when you pay attention to the news and it influences your behavior your in essence what are you doing you're taking AEM out of the equation and you're giving all of his power to some human being and that's at the minimum the dust of a minimum maybe actually all but the minimum that it is is dust of of idolatry why you just gave God's power to some newscaster some journalist some uh politician some something some human being some creation that one day is going to be lunch and dinner for maggots is unfortunately made this mistake many many times including a time where you would never think they would be making this mistake a time where they saw open Miracles this is why when people ask how come Hashem doesn't just show himself maybe he'll turn everybody into a Believer he won't do it and you know why it didn't work he did it once it didn't work look he just saved them did all types of things a day later they losta why because amuna is not something that you could just acquire based on seeing something and that say that changes you forever it may change you but if you don't continue working on developing and building thisa by learning more and more about hem by noticing him in everything noticing him in your business noticing him in your marriage noticing him in your personality noticing him in in the ideas that you have noticing him in your the health that you have or you don't have noticing him in the food noticing him in the birds noticing Hashem in everything guess what that jolt of energy that you got from some experience becomes forgotten you forget how many people can really honestly admit that they remember all of the Miracles that happened to them not just the whole life I'm not going to ask you a ridiculous question just the Miracles that happened to them this week the truth is you don't even remember most of them because you don't even know most of Miracles the fact that we wake up is a miracle the fact that you take a piece of meat you eat it and you and it actually helps you your stomach takes this piece of meat and makes it into something useful but yet the stomach doesn't eat you that's a miracle how come it destroys the meat that you ate but doesn't destroy you because you're also a piece of meat the fact that you have these two little Bubbles and you're able to see through them when you actually see the mechanics of the eye it's unbelievable it's thinner than a balloon you take a little balloon any balloon any any part you see if there's a lot of balloons there's a lot of popping happening why because they're fragile how come you never see you never see somebody walking in the street my eye popped it doesn't happen how come how come it doesn't happen it's thinner than a balloon it's thinner than a balloon how come it doesn't happen cuz decides decides now when is failed they started screaming to hem like we scream to when bad stuff happens to [Music] us did Hashem answer no they prayed to Hashem what else do you want us to do they prayed to Hashem they didn't pray to Idols they prayed to Hashem hasm didn't answer them showing us that sometimes prayer is not enough Prayer by itself is fantastic you have to take advantage of it not just for the three times a day Jew supposed to pray women pray once a day men pray three times a day you want to pray more than once a day as a woman go ahead but you're obligated once a day to do a man three times a day but you should do more if you can well you pray to hm talk to cry to him he's your father in Heaven he he wants you to talk to him sometimes the prayer that you do independently is much better than the prayer that you praying with a Bess it not to guide you guys to go start praying by yourself but meaning uh you know without aan but I mean a prayer that's not from the book pray just your own words cry to hem the breast liver called it e and the rest of just called prayer talking to hasem it's good but the reality is sometimes it's not enough how do we know here look this and didn't answer so they say oh so you know what I'm going to tell my Rabbi I'm going to go to my Rabbi Rabbi pray for me I'm going to go to the K I'm GNA go to the's C even though they don't believe he died I'm gonna go to some other sadik's C and I'm gonna go pray over there why cuz that's where the Yeshua is that's where the Salvation is guess what sometimes it doesn't work either sometimes it doesn't work you go it doesn't work you go to Kev you go to Morocco you go to is to uh to uh to or you go to there's many in many manyik you go pray there and you you're waiting for hem to bring you the Salvation sometimes it doesn't work person's sick goes there prays cries comes home stay sick looking for Z hoping that if he goes to this Kev everything's going to work out not only it doesn't work out the Z that he thought he had he lost it gets worse how come they went to the rabbi the rabbi prayed to Hashem so starts crying to hasem after he comes everybody else down in uh Exodus 14:14 he says God will fight your War don't worry about it you just stay quiet you just be okay believe in hasem gives them but himself he says I'm G to go cry to hem for them and hasem gives him a response that's really a response for us Hashem says to Moshe why do you cry out to me speak to the children of Israel and let them Journey forward so kazal our sages are baffled here I don't understand what do you mean Hashem who else is he going to cry to the Egyptians are there the anacondas and scorpions over there and there's an ocean that begins at 20 feet deep like what who else is he going to cry to Mustafa Pikachu what the desert who's he going to cry to the idols but then Kaz tell us no what's the answer answer is says to Moshe Moshe this is not the time to cry to me this is not the time to pray to me you already prayed you already showed that you understand that I'm God you told me that you believe in me because you were the few that were chosen right but that's not enough now you need to show me you told me you prayed already in Egypt you prayed right now you need to show me go tell is I want them to show me they havea by making a Sacrifice by doing something and the reason why is because right now is not a time for prayer there is a prosecutor against you the Satan came to me and he said listen Hashem it's not fair you are gonna split the ocean for them and then the Egyptians are gonna follow but then you're gonna close the ocean on the Egyptians kill the Egyptians but the Jews are going to are going to survive that's not fair why why are you going to let one survive and and kill the other they're both Idol [Music] worshippers they both believe the news they both pray Idols they both how do we know they both Kaz says something scary even though the best of us the best of us that survived Egypt said we're leaving Egypt because of they still brought their Idols in their bags they brought some of them still brought the idols in their back they brought the idol just in case it doesn't work out it's like no no Rabbi I believe in hm I believe in hm okay so how come you're saving so much money for retirement instead of using it to help am no just in case it doesn't work out my belief in hasem at least I know I'm going to be okay at least I know I'm going to have uh money for but you have money already you have a house already you don't need to buy another house no just in case I need something else what else you going to need you have insurance you have stuff I mean okay you need to have some type of savings but Kal I mean you're not buying food for Shabbat because you're saving for retirement you think that extra dollar that you save on the Kal is going to help you we see that there is a lot that hasem expects from us when it comes to but ideally our our efforts should be under control don't overdo it don't overdo it don't work 800 jobs you know because you're trying to save for the future who promised you the future don't try to do things so much that in essence you're you think you've gotten to the point where you think you are in control of your future the only thing you're in control of is today what are you going to do today you going to learn to today or not you're going to go against hem today or not you're going to go to work today or not you're going to get married today or not you're going to get divorced today or not today is the only thing you have in control the past already is the past you can't do nothing about it the future is not in your hands people that spend a lot of time in the future end up living a very very anxious life they're under anxiety constantly they're constantly stressed out why future the future the future who told you you're going to survive the future who told you you have to look at things a little bit differently Hashem says why because when you look at things that are beyond your control which is the future or the past naturally that's going to lead you to have Lessa and more anxiety because those are things that you can't do anything about which means you're going to get stressed out because I can't do you're helpless you're thinking about the past oh I can't believe what happened to me I lost this they think about me this I said this all the things of the past okay but you can't do anything about it it already happened the milk already spilled what's the point of being stressed out about it what's the point of being sad about it move on move forward okay you lost there there no problem I had a woman send me a message uh just the other day I've been in touch with her for some time now and this woman really gave me she gave me why she give me she tells me that a few years ago few years ago maybe five years ago she had a kid and something happened when he was four years old where uh somebody heard him or whatever so from that day on he always had you know different health issues but he was okay for a while one day they go to sleep the baby's in our bed 2 years old she wakes up in the middle of the night cuz she feels there something wrong she looks at the kid he [Music] died doesn't know why doesn't know who nothing wasn't sick she thinks it's because of what happened when he was four months old and so on reality is because of but why am I telling you the story not to make you sad because she gave me because after that instead of doing what most people would do what do most people do at that point they blame God ah why you doing this to me God ah the hell with it I'm not gonna keep nothing I'm not doing nothing ah you know that's what they do how can you do this how this how that this woman M has a strong she says I must have done something wrong I must have done something had to happen I'm not doing something this happened there's no doesn't happen to to just everybody I must I have to find out what the truth of life is and she started learn looking for a book she goes listen I got to look what did the Tora say she's a Christian we're born a Christian she goes yeah but I need the book The Original I need the original book I want Tor she started learning Tor she started learning and it gave her a new purpose to life she got remarried they had another kid and they're doing fantastic now not because the kid didn't die he died but because she knew that this to came from Hashem this strong strong difficulty that may no one ever actually experienced such a thing but the reality is Hashem gave it to her because she could handle the test she could handle it and she not only handled it she overcame it and she became better because of [Music] it the difficulties that we have in our life are different opportunities that hasm gives each and every single one of us to grow if we harp on all the bad things that happened to us in the past we lost money we lost reputation we lost this we lost that we loost everything you're never going to be able to move forward you're going to simply be living in the past you're going to be depressed about it anxious about it miserable about it it's just going to be one useless life why cuz you can't do anything about the past Hashem does not want you to think about the past too much it's past it's gone doesn't belong to you anymore say the past belongs to the Satan why he uses it as a fantastic tool to depress you to give you anxiety to make you do all types of silly things why cuz you're you're you're you're helpless you can't change it needless to say the future when a person looks too much into the future plans too much into the future they simply forget about the present the only way that a person should live is today live today learn from the past do different things to try your best to make the future better but focus on the present Focus your life on the present that was the mistake of they were looking at listen it doesn't make any sense we were this we were that they were looking at all types of other things that were happening in the world everywhere except Hashem Hashem told them listen you are praying to me you're crying to me but you're still holding on to the idols of the past you still have all the sins of the past you still haven't changed you're saying oh hasem I love you I love you I put a keep on I put on but you're still not really committed to hasem you're still holding on to the idolatrous beliefs Hashem says you want salvation move forward move forward do something about it show me you believe so when went into the ocean sacrificed his life he was the pillar he was the example he was the leader that the mashia comes from actually and after he went several others followed him and the ocean was split into 12 one for each tribe here we see that amuna is one of the things that people like to talk about but amuna requires a person to change their actions first and foremost all of this stimuli that we have around us whether it be news or people chitchatting or all of this fortune telling types of things you have to abandon it like it's a plague cuz it's going to hurt your second of all if there are bad things happening in our life review what you're doing what can you do better everyone can pick at least a few things they could do better look at the Tora look at what you're doing are you doing everything in no okay so pick something change it you did it it didn't didn't work do something else maybe hasm wants something else don't just cry to Hashem why why why you have to do something about it prayer is sometimes not enough sometimes we didn't pray enough sometimes the prayer itself is not enough and sometimes we didn't pray enough we prayed once we think that one prayer and uh you know everything changes sometimes we didn't pray enough but the point is that Prayer by itself does not work it requires action we have to change things there are many people that come to me and say oh listen can you pray for my dad can you pray for my son can you pray for this one can you pray for that one yeah sure I could pray for them but if they don't change and do chuva my prayer is not going to work by itself the prayer has to be connected to an action to chuva it has to be connected to show it give hem a reason why because technically Hashem does not change his mind doesn't change his mind so how does prayer actually work prayer Works where when you pray really pray that prayer is actually supposed to change you as a human being you are now praying to Hashem you're saying I'm sorry Hashem you're saying Hashem I promise you I'm going to do better not hasm please please give me give me give me give me he's not an ATM machine you have to say Hashem I'm sorry for what I did everything that you did to me you are right that's what it says in our all of the bad stuff you brought Upon Us you're right you're we but I promise you I'm going to change but promise is not enough I'm going take action from now on I'm going to at least one sh a week from now on I'm go to two shim a week from now on I'm going to pray on time every day from now on I'm going to keep Shabbat from now on I'm going to become modest from now on I'm going to do this this and that that prayer you have to bring it to life so now hasem doesn't change his mind but how come he's going to answer you now because now that you've changed your actions now that you change your actions you are no longer the same person so hasem says wait a minute hold on a second Gabriel mik ra what's going on over here this guy is sick why is he sick there was a decree on him no no no no the decree of sickness was on somebody else this guy's a tadik look he's keeping Shabbat he said his wife's going to be matter from now on he's he's committing to learning to he's a different person after this hem that was 20 minutes ago he was he goes no the prayer he promised he did a bunch of things is a different person take off with make him make him healthy mik give him a new job gel do something find him a or something he's a different person he's not the same guy why committed committed his prayer became something that's actually tangible not just words that's what was saying to you have to move forward speak to am and move forward Journey forward do something don't just scream to me do something about it everybody has something to do so with that being said hopefully we get a little bit ofuna boost and a little of instructions of how to move forward with the rest of the week in Our Lives who wants to start off with some questions Joshua if you don't mind take the mic y you got to prepare today first question what is the um I know you don't like to talk so much about mystical stuff but no mystical is fun just depends on who which direction we're going to no what's what's the what so is there a like a a a deeper mystical interpretation or understanding of the of the song that sing in his paraa yeah of course we sing it in our prayer every day uh there are many MIM that delve into theim uh where uh they say that uh every p in the Torah has a prophecy every PUK in the Tora has a prophecy something in the future and we also see today from Torah codes that uh there is a uh lots of secrets in every single verse in the Torah one of the things that I can show you that I learned years ago is there's a couple of midashim to talk about it is that when you read the midashim is actually what actually transpired at the time of them singing the song you uh learn some of this stuff during when you read P um and it says there was a certain amount of Miracles that happened at the ocean some say there was 50 some a few hundred and so on and so forth so the sages explained to us that the miraculous events that happened during this Shield during this song which was during the time they were crossing the ocean uh was greater than any other time in history there was more miracles happening in yam than everything that happened in the last year in Egypt that's how many more miracles there were Hashem flattened the ground of the ocean so no one gets tired Hashem miraculously took out in one second fruit trees grew so anyone that's hungry in the middle wants an apple you got an apple you want an orange you got an orange you want a uh a watermelon you got water anything you wanted you had in the ocean what about fresh water anyone that's uh thirsty there was a little window from the uh from the ocean that became a wall little window came out that squirted fresh water not salt water you could pretty much live there for the rest of Eternity everything is good now that was just one of the Small Miracles not the big ones now in this in this a uh Shield one of the sections says this is my God and I will build him a sanctuary the god of my father and I will exalt him so so kazal says that um who said this who said this specific line it says the babies says which babies says all of the babies that were still in their mother's uterus in their stomachs in their belly they were saying it how do we know they said it because miraculously made all of their stomachs clear and you saw little babies little six four five six nine month old babies in a baby sitting over there with the Mal pointing at this is my God and I and I will honor him I will build him a sanctuary you see this little few words have enough mid you can write a book on one of the other interesting things that I learned in M years ago is something that we say in our [Music] prayer who is like you who is like you among the Heavenly Powers AEM who is like you mighty in Holiness too awesome to pray do of Wonders now in English what I just said doesn't really mean very much other than theat the basic meaning but in Hebrew if you notice it's in your also it says meaning it's the same exact thing the word and but it's spelled exactly the same way but in one of them it's spell it's pronounced and the other one it's almost like I used to to think when I used to read this when I was a young kid I'm like oh they forgot the dot the the the the guy the guy the publisher forgot to put a dot in this one one has has a dot in it so you pronounce it C and one of them doesn't have a DOT so you put there's a mistake in a rabbi but if you look at the midashim says no no this is a message in its own why says the first one first one one of them is said by who is like who is uh like you who is among you who is like you among the Heavenly powers and the other one is said by one is by one is by why all of the uh Jews were saying who is who's like you you're unbelievable you're amazing you're the best Hashem you're the best they're all singing to him at that second after all the Egyptians died Hashem left only one alive who was it why he wanted him to see what happened came out of the water he started join heard the song he was like you know spinning out water who is like you he didn't pronounce it right but he know knew who no no one's like Hashem and he himself did chuva he himself did chv and became the king of n so every single one of the lines in this Shield you could do a whole sh about whole sh about all types of mystical things the we know that there is all types of Salvation and uh inside the song so they included it in our prayer uh they specifically use different tools from t from the from different parts of our Tora specifically and added them to the prayer cuz prayer originally was just but later on it was more things added to it you know the says that prayer began with a he started praying Shak then it was said oh you should also play in the afternoon then yob added also but in it was just when we say when you see the word in a any or in when it says it's referring to that's what it's referring is but when we refer it when we say oh did you pray today what are you going to say you say pray the whole thing not just amid pray the whole thing the whole the whole whatever it is so the which was comprised of our sages and also a few of them were actually prophets they added specific parts of the Tanakh inside our prayers because they knew that these specific words are pleasing to Hashem and are in essence opening different Gates of Heaven that bring Salvation to his people when they're prayed a certain time of day when they prayed a certain way when they prayed with a certain amount of people it's it's almost like the code to the safety box you know you have a safety box it has a very elaborate system of how to open you have to put your fingerprints and your eye and you have to put a code with certain numbers but you have to put those numbers in a certain way in a certain amount of time but if you don't do it quickly enough you have to start all over again that's what kazal did with the prayers said you're going to pray these words these specific words at specific times and if you do it that way it'll open different Gates of Heaven that will bring Salvation to the people bring good health whatever it is that you're praying for those Gates of Heaven can be open at that specific time but now the says what if somebody prays on time every day he goes to Nets goes to Nets he prays in the morning 6:00 in the morning 5:00 in the morning or he pra M like the best of them he prays and he screams and he dances whatever you want him to do but in reality you ask the guy listen uh your business it's not an ethical business you're taking advantage of people ah it's okay no no what do you think AEM cares about my business I pray I'm the best prayer in everybody knows everybody comes to because they hear me pray I'm the Kazan okay that you're good prayer you know how to pray it's good but your business is not kosher you're selling stuff as new when it's really refurbished you're lending money with high interest you're uh you're doing things that are not good you're selling people things that you say it's medicine but in reality it's just a saline it's it's it's a saltwater you're stealing ah no no no stop being M on me go away what does that mean that means that that person has no has no fear of hem so theat says someone that has no is prayer cannot be answered why because even if he prays and he prays on time and he prays with a nice sounds and he sings and he dances whatever you want him to do when you don't have even if you're doing everything else right you keep Shabbat you keep kosher you keep you keep everything else but if you don't have fear of Heaven it's like having the key the key to the safe to the safe inside without having the key to the outside to get into the building you have the Torah you have the mitah you have Shabbat you have everything that's the key to the inside safe but you can't get into the building so it's useless without nothing works nothing works that's why says in his T the fear of the almighty that's his treasure that's his treasure that's what he want want he wants us to be afraid of him but not just afraid of punishment afraid of destroying the relationship afraid of his majesty afraid of hurting our our lineage afraid of hurting each other and so on and so forth there's different types of fear but the point is is a person needs to be conscious of the necessity to have fear of hem if a person does not have a fear all of the things that he's doing unfortunately not going to work well he's not following the code so these are just a few a few things that I can remember about the song but if you take mid or mid or many of the other mid you could learn just about this song books many many many books but in general this song like any other verse that's mentioned in the K it opens different keys of heaven different keys of heaven that bring Salvation there's another part of this Paras that opens keys of heaven is the par it's a supicious time to read a section of this Paras that talks about the Mana bread and the whole story of it of how we cried to Hashem for for for food and then M says we're nothing why you crying complaining against hem and hasem says okay I'm give I'm G to give them mana and so on and so forth It's a couple of paragraph This is a auspicious time to read that every day you should really read it all year round but you should read that particular part every single day uh especially now because it's good for par the MIM says that if you read it every day it can open up Gates of Heaven for youra now there are also things that close the Gate of Heaven TOA so you can read 500 times a day wake up to sleep 500 times a day you read but if you continue to waste seed or you continue insulting and abusing your wife or you don't keep Shabbat nothing's going to help you why every time you waste seed whether your s or with your wife or with your girlfriend or whatever it is all of the she that wants to give you goes in the toilet goes to somebody else because what ends up happening when a person waste seed those those whatever happens to you here happens to your says says there's your there a piece of you up there when you weigh seed over here the seed comes out spiritual seed comes out of the Nish part that you have in heaven creates all of these n for every single seed every ejaculation you're talking about hundreds of millions of now all of this say what are we doing we're waiting for a body no no you're out you're out why are we out he got you out he let you yeah but you're supposed to make me a baby make him a baby no no you're out so now all of those hundreds of millions of seeds that you took out on purpose not an accident not an accident you went to sleep and it happened because you're still recovering from your past addiction you did it on purpose you watched the movie you did it you have a girlfriend you did it or even with your wife but she's uh you know doesn't want to get pregnant she wants to stay pretty when you weigh seed all of those millions of them hundreds of millions of them now are going to prosecute against that person they don't leave his sight they next to him at all times and when they go when they go to the bed of shamay whenever that person leaves this world every single one of those seeds arrives at the trial and sues him look what he did to me he brought me to the world without a body look how much I'm suffering because of him Hashem says you're right go take your shot on him each one of them takes a shot on him and each one of them gets the right to destroy you why you hurt them you hurt them so now if a person reads is that going to do anything for those seeds no why cuz hem has to give them something for now to quiet them out says okay it's p okay you're gonna get something now he gives them your P he gives him your health he gives him your Z he gives them everything that's supposed to come to you because you did that sin so a person weighs seed in many places all of the big all of them discuss it of How It's Not only forbidden it destroys your life in this world needless to say in the next World so if a person reachs P but he's still not be careful with his eyes and he's wasting seed he has a very serious problem same thing goes with Shabbat if a person doesn't keep Shabbat that's the uh that's the connection to hem that's our entire religion without Shabbat there's no Judaism we got theah Shabbat before mat before we arrived to mount sa we already obligate to keep Shabbat that's the foundation of the entire religion that's the foundation of entire is without Shabbat there's no Jews a person that forsakes Shabbat desecrates Shabbat drives on Shabbat uh you know plays on his computer on his phone on Shabbat smokes cigarettes on Shabbat works on Shabbat does all types of things on Shabbat says look at this he's worshiping an idol look he's screaming in the streets that I don't exist he's screaming in the streets I don't exist why cuz Shabbat is a testimony what are we saying K it's a testimony that Hashem created the world in six days and rested on a seventh meaning that when a person desecrates Shabbat on purpose he is like somebody the says that's running in the streets screaming out I don't believe in God I don't believe in God and yet he wants to geta yet he wants to get Z get he wants everything else from the God he doesn't believe in and guess what God loves you so much he still gives it to you why because he feels bad for your stupid brain that you have it caus you to violate Shabbat he gives you more chances but the chances run out eventually so the secrets in this verse in this par we could learn from here till the end of the world twice and we'll finish but you got to cut a little taste next question rest of you know the rest of the T oh Noel has something I don't know I talk to my Rabbi every day I have 900 questions how do you guys have no questions no end to my questions he wants to go okay listen got to do this okay one more question one more question RAB okay all right oh no no one more I never have an end to my questions how do you guys not have questions if I had a rabbi could answer my questions I'd come here with notebooks of questions actually that's what I used to do had questions go ahead well in uh in shall we we know we know the story we know that the people of Egypt did their share they little things they did to the to the uh to the Israelite or to the Hebrews right um but also power was the one in charge I giving those you know you know you know those laws you know allowing the people to do these things right so now why yes why would Hashem spare him although at some point kind of you know uh get his fre take his his free away that key yeah but at the beginning he was there's a lot of things he was he was doing and even even then as a result of he him being you know you know so stubborn or even he went to them again technically he you know he allow all these people you know to you know all this his Nation to be destroyed and all these people kind of somewhat follow him does you know what do the what's the measure of me what do SES say question is question is par technically is the one that told all of his people to kill the Jews to hurt them to enslave them he told them and how come he's the one that survived now one and you say wait a minute he took his free choice so initially for the first three plagues he had his free choice he was stubborn on his own but after after he made a mistake three times where he promised to free am is and he didn't Hashem removed his free choice and he continued making the same bad decision seven more times or six more times he didn't free them until obviously was nearly completely destroyed so kazal says on one end the reason why he survived is because Hashem took away his free choice but that doesn't answer your question yet why because you feel like it's not enough okay it took us free choice fine but technically he only took away his free choice because he made really bad choices so here's the completion of the answer the talks about a time of the destruction of the beta mikdash the first beta mikdash where neet sent his General who a massive vicious person named nardan and nardan came to yush to take control and when he got to the bet mikdash he saw that there's you know there's the sacrifice area but he saw that in certain section there's blood there an a lot of blood boiling on the flooor so he asked theim they working a b what is that I've seen blood before I've never seen this no so they said to them no it's nothing it's go what nothing the blood over there is was blowing bubbles it's hot why doesn't the ground swallow the blood this blood is different what kind of blood it is goes no it's it's just from the from the sacrifices you know we do a lot of sacrifices every goes okay bring a sheep I want to see they brought a sheep they slaughtered the Sheep the blood came out wasn't boiling went into the ground swallowed it nothing happened it's okay maybe it's something else bring a cow bring a cow let's see maybe it's a cow maybe it wasn't a sheep that made boiling blood maybe it's a cow they bring a cow slaughtered it nothing regular blood goes on the ground ground swallows it doesn't boil nothing Nan tells them if you don't tell me what did is I'm going to take special nice tools I made just for you and I'm going to peel every one of your skins while you're alive I'm going to peel your skins and make you guys watch each other as I'm peeling your skin give you a death you would curse the day you were born in each second you're alive so they got scared to death obviously cuz they knew that this mess person is vicious he has no problem killing he he saw more dead people than breakfast his soldiers massive amount of soldiers they literally killed more people than the times they ate breakfast these people that's how many people they killed so for them killing was uh no big deal point at somebody kill them for no reason so they know they know it's not a empty threat so they told him listen over 250 years ago we had a prophet who was also a Cohen named zakar and Zar came to us came to the king and told us you forgot Hashem and Hashem is going to forget you you are worshiping Idols you're forgetting hasem don't you know you fools that's going to lead hem to abandon you even David David says you hid my you hid your face for me and I got scared hasem when he hides his face Holocaust inquisitions cancer AIDS uh every Corona Barona whatever you want all the worst things in the world are just the beginning hides his face Z comes to them he says to them you don't understand you're worshiping Idols you're going you're forgetting Hashem as you forgot what happened to our forefathers you forgot everything hashem's going to Forget You Hashem is going to abandon you hasem is going to hide his face they didn't like to hear that he told you better keep Shabbat his death penalty they didn't like to hear that say stop wasting seed they didn't like to hear that so what they do is said listen Z stop coming around we don't want to hear you anymore don't talk to us that way you're fanatic you're crazy you're uh scream all the time we have our own rabbis our rabbis say it's okay to uh drive to SCH on Shabbat our Rabbi say it's okay to wear a wig that's longer than the Exile our Rabbi say it's okay to eat at uh Starbucks because the milk is kosher we're not really sure about the rest of it but it's it's okay Rabbi say it's okay to have unethical business as long as we're only stealing from go says I don't know who your rabbis are but they're also Idol worshippers they're also just like you if you continue going like this Hashem is going to hide his face from you they got so upset they killed him but before they killed him Zar prayed to Hashem Torah says he says Hashem avenge my blood because what did I do what did I do what did I do really I came here to help people do CH what did I do I came to spread your word I came here to tell everybody to come back to you now they're going to kill me soem now it's on you you avenge my blood I did your work they want to hurt me no problem he's not scared of death death toim is like moving from one room to the other they're not scared of death it's like you go from this room to the next room that's death to them it's nothing are not scared of death they're scared of judgment but not death so they going to kill me what like I'm not scared of anything why I'm just going to go to gedan like I'm retiring but hasem it's still you have to avenge my blood cuz I did your work thear says after they killed him the blood that came out of him never left it stayed on that ground for over years imagine how much rain went on that blood imagine how many storms imagine how many times people try to sweep it away sponge it away Wash It Away do something build on top of it never leaving right now you take this tea you spill it on the floor within a few seconds it becomes a mark you're not really sure if it's dirt or if it's tea two seconds blood blood let's say somebody cuts their finger a little piece of little blood goes on the floor within a few moments you're not sure whether it's ink or it's blood or it's just dirt or something you have no idea what it is to have blood last boiling fresh hot for over 250 years when zardan heard the story of what they did to their prophet he start he told his army kill everybody you see and they started killing hundreds of thousands of Jews massive scale murder no exception they killed the big big di the big S the small sad the big ones the small ones the everybody started killing people and every time he would kill Nan himself was killing people he himself killed tens of thousands of people with his own sword not like uh you know today people just say listen Army go over here and I'm the sitting in my office uh you know in air conditioning he himself was slaughtering people in vicious ways now every time he would come back to the blood look the blood blood still is there okay killing continues another few hundred thousand comes back to the blood blood's still boiling goes again another few hundred thousand rivers of blood rivers of blood after he killed so many people he screamed out to Heaven he said to z z what good are you that you're so much better than the rest of the people here that I killed why are you so much better than everybody else that your blood is not settled yet you want me to kill everyone you want me to kill your entire people just because you died at that moment hashem's Mercy opened up Hashem says to the blood calm down the blood calmed down the ground swallowed it now at that moment nardan had the trauma of his life trauma why he just saw he didn't get a trauma of killing hundreds of thousands of people seeing people missing heads missing arms missing legs no he didn't he's killed like it's nothing like you eat a sandwich you don't feel bad for the cow you eat a sandwich you don't feel bad for the chicken oh oh poor chicken maybe he had a family you don't feel bad you like the chicken put some ketchup on it time you don't think about the cow oh maybe the cow was really just ready for retirement no you like the chicken you like the cow you right that wasan he was killing people like chicken he didn't get traumatized by this but he got traumatized after he saw that AEM just took the blood away why because he did a calcul ulation in his head he said wait a minute look what happened to all of these people millions of people that I just killed because they killed one guy what's going to happen to me what's going to happen to me when I get to shamay when I get to heaven or at some point when God decides to for me to pay the bill about all these people that I killed if all of these people got such a horrible punishment that I that I I killed all of them because they their grandparents killed one guy what will I get for killing all of these people he did a and at that moment the says he had the sparkle of chuv he couldn't take it he was traumatized he realized he's in big trouble he realized the god of Israel is the only God in the world he wrote a letter sent him back to his house said he's never coming back home some say he sent a suicide letter he took off all of his plaques all of his medals the general this was the number two number two person in the world after took off all of his medals took off his uniform put on a sack joined am became a slave became a Jew and the says became kados became AED got KES gotes why for the same reason of your question made a million and a Half Mistakes Hashem took away his free will but after all said and done after the 10th [Music] plague he realized his mistake and he started looking in the streets for Moshe andon he started tell him come come I'll help you leave I'll help you leave go he embarrassed himself he could have just told one of his generals listen tell Moshe tell tell all these thingses to get out of here but no he says no no no he embarrassed himself he embarrassed himself lowered himself humbled himself why he had he had like a moment of weakness where he said listen what am I crazy I'm going against God that's why it says that in this week's that as if as if par freed us who freed us hasem freed us not par didn't free us got destroyed Hashem freed but it says in as if sent us away like hey go kids go away to school go away to Yesa Go kids I'll see you soon as if it was like a nice uh goodbye uh event nice uh you know uh go go away party why he lowered himself he embarrassed himself and even after after he made a mistake again and went and chased after them in the ocean hasem manipulated it to happen that way and after everything was destroyed again when he came out of the ocean he completed his chuv he says there's no one like you no other God not me not nothing hem you are the only God that Chua that CH full CH as long as you're alive you do ch will change nature for you that's how much AEM loves chuva that's how much he desires chuva the only reason any of us are in this world is for us to do chuva the only message that all of the prophets we ever had all of them with no exceptions to give to is and to the go was to do chuva all of them that's the purpose of life people ask what's the purpose of life in one word du chba two words but that's it so when did chv everything changed nature changed his Dean changed his judgment changed his soldiers never did Chua that's why they [Music] died now is it possible I think we've we've uh We've we've discussed this before now is it possible for someone who you know LED other people to you know to sin and then these people go to gam or let's say they they died before him never had a chance to do tra and then him he goes you know to to G that to yes so this is part of the reason of why uh part of our UHA is that Hashem runs the world and that hem brings merits to one that already has merits and obligation to one that already has sins meaning that it's not just anyone that is Led astray it's not just anyone that is led to sin or just anyone that is led to do chuva oh he went to the Rabbi that's why he went off the oh he went to that Rabbi and that's why he did CH it doesn't work that way it's not life doesn't work on happen stance and just he you know uh just happened to go to that Rabbi that's why he's righteous and he went to that Rabbi that's why he's wicked no it doesn't work that way a person has a certain action that he makes in order to make Heaven decide which which door will open for him so the people that go off the people that end up becoming Idol worshippers becoming missionized becoming the victims if you will of the spiritual Holocaust it didn't just happen to them they did something themselves in order for that for them to deserve that they already wanted an excuse to sin they already didn't like the mitv and weren't really keeping it but were going against it you know in secret they were in secret so when they they reviewed their judgment in sham Hashem says this guy is pretending to be righteous but but he's really okay so when the missionary comes to town I'm going to make sure he meets him so now the missionary comes to him and tells listen Yos died for your sins and all types of other nonsense he's like ah see good okay there you go you died to my sins I'm not I'm still religious but just a different uh different thing I believe that I don't need to keep Shabbat anymore in reality he wasn't keeping Shabbat anyway in reality he was already going against hem anyway in reality he deserved what he got so the the one that caused him to sin he'll definitely get punished for it but the guy that suffers he also did something to deserve that now the guy that that causes people to to go lead astray he has a very very difficult time doing chuv it's almost impossible for him to do chuva depending on what kind of massive scale of uh you know causing people to to sin it is uh but again it's a uh much more massive if it's leading Jews astray rather than leading non-jews astray because to lead a Jew astray means that you are in essence telling them to go against the Torah and you tell them to go against God whereas when you lead a non-jewish stray you tell them to go against logic meaning it's much much more difficult much more difficult to rationalize this and think that the guy that the non-jew that went astray it it's he did it because of him why because what does the Torah say for the non-jew believe in one God don't eat any animals while they're still alive you know have a court system don't commit adultery don't commit murder you don't need the Torah to know these things this is pure logic which means that if you're doing anything against the seven Noah Hy laws that means you didn't want to keep them anyway it wasn't because you were let astray it was because you didn't want to do it so the punishment for leading thaty guy astray is lesser than if you lead a Jew astray why cuz here you're breaking an entire tah here there's a lot of laws you have to go against you're you're replacing god with an idol you're you're doing a lot of things here there's a lot to going here so that's that's also you can't count to the two the same so par leading let's say his people his non-jewish people astray is very very different than let's say Yos leading Jews astray to Christianity so there's there's a very very different weight between the two it's not that the non-jews are not important but we have to understand here that number one there is a priority list that God himself says the Jews are the chosen ones no one can disagree with that and two here you have an entire body of Torah here you have logic the entire body of Torah you're going to argue with them and so on you're going to convince them okay that's going to require some uh some work but logic there's no way you can convince this guy that uh you know that there's three gods or the that God is three pieces if he's actually using his mind this guy already wanted something he wanted an excuse to justify his uh his uh his actions so now you told listen that God is three pieces and the fact if you believe that God is three pieces that means you can pretty much do whatever you want oh okay so it's convenient this belief I like this belief I'll take two I'll take two why it's convenient to have this belief that you can do whatever you want because God has three pieces according to this religion you understand so this is against logic leading Jews as stray is much much worse so next question um I don't know if you already answered this or not but when you were talking about uh when a person waste seed and uh and all his uh all these babies um are are going to prosecute him or something when he dies yeah but what if this person does full tishu for all the seed that he wasted and then he uh what happens to those to those spiritual to those babies what what happens to them in the end so says for wasting seed is several parts first a person must stop that's obvious if he has a girlfriend either has to marry her right away or he has to break up with her and not replace her with something else if he's by himself if he's his own girlfriend or if she's her own boyfriend cuz women are also forbidden from uh from doing that even though they don't have seed the Benish writes that they also produce demons they also produce these n with their with when they uh uh pleasure themselves or whatever you want to call it uh and they are in essence destroying themselves as well so whether a man or woman are doing chuva they cannot have a boyfriend or a girlfriend friend and they cannot even be the themselves they have to either get married or simply be abstinent altogether that's first step of chuva second step of chuva is to put a fence around the fence meaning that they have to make sure that they don't go into different places that trigger it if they know that every time they're on a computer you know watching shows or watching a uh you know whatever they're watching or playing games or whatever it is it leads them to commit the sin they have to stop altogether if they know that every time they hang out with certain types of people it leads them to sin they have to stop if they know that if they do certain things that leads them to sin they have to stop it so that's off fence if they uh you know just like an alcoholic you know that's trying to stop it should never go to a bar or even a bar mitzvah that has alcohol there why because that's a trigger point that's a trigger point that's something that's going to trigger him to remember his past and in essence sin again so that's defense the third thing is they have to regret the sin how do you regret the sin you have to learn about it you have to learn all of the shim that we've made all of the clips that we have about this topic all discuss different things you have to learn about this topic extensively become an expert in it to the extent where you become disgusted by the sin not that you just realize it's wrong realizing that wrong that it's wrong it takes about two and a half seconds you come to my lecture you're going to find out it's wrong realizing is wrong a donkey realizes it's wrong believe it or not every human being every human being even if he's never heard any of my lectures never read any books knows it's wrong how does he know the second he finishes this horrific act he feels horrible the second he finishes he'll never feel like that if he was with his wife never he's with his wife the seed went where it's supposed to he feels fantastic she feels fantastic but he's with his girlfriend he's using some condom or he's a uh doing like outside or he's doing it by himself the second he's done the second he's done he's like what did I just do or I just do why he doesn't want to be next to her doesn't want be next to himself he's disgusting doesn't know what's going he doesn't know why he's disgusted he doesn't know but he's disgusted he doesn't know why that's what he has to get to before the sin now he has to learn about the topic to the point where he's disgusted by it before the sin it doesn't entice him to see all this fil in the streets of people walking around naked or on TV or on the Internet or in pretty much everything he's disgusted by it that's what he has to go get to meaning learn enough about the sin where you find people that are IM modest filthy filthy like like manure you don't look at a woman that's half naked wow no you think like she has like oh wow she's going to get burned and maggots and not even going to have anything to eat yet like you think it's disgusting that's what you're supposed to get to you're supposed to find this sin something repulsive that takes a lot of work you have to protect your eyes you have to learn about the topic you have to protect yourself from yourself not to look at yourself not to touch yourself a massive amount of work that's how you're going to get to the point of regretting it because to regret you made a crime it's okay it's bad I feel bad but how much do you really regret it you had a good time after all you still reminisce with your friends that you went out with her and her and her and her and him and him and him you know people say oh you remember when I was a kid I had this girlfriend that girlfriend you're still reminiscing about your past you're not regretting anything you haven't gotten to step number three of the chuva the rambam says you haven't done chuva yet you think you're going to sh did cha you didn't do cha they're going to laugh in your face why you're still reminiscing with your friends about your Club days you're still reminiscing with your friends about how you had three girlfriends at once three boyfriends at once all types of garbage and filth you still think it's good until you get disgusted you cannot regret now how what's some of the things that going to help you become disgusted learning about it but also keeping yourself Strong by encouraging other people to do chuva because that's also going to wipe out some of your sins every time somebody does chuva it erases your crimes now at that point hasem puts a stamp this gu's a chuva but the chuva has levels each time a person does another step of chuva another step of chuva his level goes higher now he wants to he stopped what does he do about the past there are two things that a person can do about the past one is is to do kiru do kiru to get people to do chuva either directly or indirectly give him a CD uh give him a link bring him to a lecture to hear about this specific topic they stop every single time they would have done it goes into your account wipes out one of your past sins second thing is he has to do t t says there's 84 fasts or 8 four times the amount of money that it cost you to eat every day so let's say if we're conservative it's $5 it's $420 for every single time that a person wasted seed which means it's a lot of money for the average guy that only learned that this is a sin uh when he's 25 35 45 years old but nonetheless that's what it is no one tells you that you have to fix it all in one day if you could only afford $420 one time this month you do $400 one time this month we'll see what happens next month if next month you could do$ 800 you do$ 800 next month if next month you could do $5 you do $5 whatever you you could afford that's what you do hasem is not going to prose prosecute against you on things you can't do but don't lie to yourself and think that hm doesn't know how much money you have whatever you can do that's what you do whatever you you can't do you can't do you're not going to get punished for things you can't do but you have to do something so you have to do T the T specifically is a something that wipes out the sin from the past because again it's a taking on a uh a uh a suffering on yourself giving money is suffering for people trust me I know people suffer a lot when they donate money it's almost like they prefer to give you a lung a lung instead of giving you a uh instead of giving you a uh money one one cute kid he uh is in touch with me and God bless him he has a tun with money he has a ton with money and will overcome it but he says listen how many times do I have to fast for three times I said 252 times goes what so it's either 252 times or 252 times times $510 I said yes goes all right so maybe I should split the 252 times over a few years I said to myself I said to him you're honestly thinking about fasting like yum 252 times instead of giving some money like that's actually a thought that's actually a thought in your brain like you actually think that you're going to fast 20 you know what 250 fast is even if you fast 25 extra times a year that's almost a full month a year you're fasting for a full month a year it's still not going to finish for 10 years and that's just for three times you wasted seed not for everything you're actually thinking that's better than giving let's say let's say you have some that say maybe you should only fast 250 times instead of giving money you that's enough but if it's money then you have to do a lot more than three times so let's say it's 250 times and you finished with the whole thing but that's just the past what about next week what about a week after maybe you're going to fall you're actually thinking that fasting is better than giving the money that's unfortunate how much people love money so when you give money for this sake it's a very big tun because hem knows your heart and he knows it's hard for you to donate for this purpose harder than anything else somebody comes to you listen SE who wants th000 2,000 5,000 20,000 people are throwing money at the guy all right listen I was only planning on buying a $30,000 but now I'm going to buy 100,000 have extra money there are organizations that build build new buildings because of their seph Tor campaigns oh they say campaign we're going to buy a SE T so many people donate for the seph T they can buy and a building too easy Mitzvah people love it oh we're going to buy easy Mitzvah money Hanah party por party some Carnival they send so much money nobody has a problem donating for it it's like giving a lung for people kir two lungs the two combined the whole body sacrifice yourself yeah one of the 10 Martyrs it's hard for people to give money why because also the Satan knows this is the real Cha so he interferes all of a sudden you have a new bill that shows up at your house all of a sudden your mom needs some money all of a sudden your brother needs a loan all of a sudden you're not really sure if you can have the job next week all of a sudden all types of things happen that put all types of thoughts in your head ah you know what maybe I should give less maybe you know what I was planning on giving 2,000 maybe I should give 1,500 okay I'll do, 1500 okay you know what I'll just do it tomorrow tomorrow I'll think about it tomorrow by next morning you woke up we're down at a thousand a thousand but you know what I have to move the money from my checking to my savings my savings to my checkings you know it takes a day it takes a day so I'll just do tomorrow by the next day you're down to 300 you're 300 I can do 300 for sure I can do but you know what I don't really want to use this card I you know I'll use the card that I have at the house I'll use the card that I have at the house because I don't want to use this card I'm going to use a different card because the other card has more points on it the other car has more points why why should I if I'm already going to pay do Chua let me get something out of I want points so maybe one day I could buy a bazooka got an airplane oh so he gets to the house by the time he gots to the house he's down to $36 $36 yeah yeah I'm going to give 30 two times K two times Kai That's life it's life I'm going to have life because two times Kai $36 all of a sudden his wife calls him his son calls ABA ABA I need you for something okay I'll just do this when I get back he goes to sleep by the time he he does the thing he maybe maybe he donates $18 maybe maybe three months later Rabbi do you see my donation he sends three emails rabbi did you see my donation yeah I stopped my day I stopped my day cuz your $18 came in with K bre now we could breathe now because your $18 came in we could buy we could buy we could breathe everybody just everybody the whole staff all staff 30 40 people everybody can eat because you sent me the $18 after three months they told me you send it why yes loves money loves it he prefers to fast a thousand times than give give money but that's why Hashem appreciates it it's hard for you that's why it's a that's why it's worth so much because you Blood Sweat and Tears all types of difficulties to give the money hasem knows how hard it is for you that's why he likes it so if a person does such a tun he gives money gives for kiru he learns about it he stops all of those things each time he takes a step the Ben says he's taking those that he brought from the upper World down to this world without a body and he's raising them back up there he's putting them back into the place in sh called goof he's taking those that are here that are next to him he's bringing them back up there so now he goes up there they're friends of his hey how are you how you doing yeah hey his friends why he brought them back the way they need [Music] just because you don't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist that's one of the most important things that je needs to understand the mystical aspects of Judaism are part of its foundation people that have a hard time believing in the mystical parts of Judaism will eventually have a hard time believing in God too because the entire Torah from the beginning all the way to the end is one mystical story there is nothing other than mysticism in in Jud ISM so a person that does real serious chuva will take all of the damage that he brought into this world and actually can even turn it into merits because now that he's brought those n from here back there that's turned into a merit that's turned into a Mitzvah that's turned into something he's going to get rewarded for and that's why you see many times people that do this tun specifically it helps with par H suddenly he makes more money suddenly his boss wants to give him a raise for no reason suddenly people want to do business with him suddenly his company grows and he has no idea why cuz it's the same exact product he's been selling for 20 years but people found an interest in it you know you hear sometimes stories of some guy that's been selling the same thing for 15 years but suddenly he became a millionaire like it's on the news or somebody likes this toy or somebody likes his product and all of a sudden it's a uh you know it's the biggest seller he's been selling it for 15 years years but now it became a bestseller happens many times so a person could literally change their Fortune with this tun cuz once a person fixes their breit they're reconnecting to B but also they're eliminating any interference with something that's hurting their job prospects their money prospects their z a woman can't find her z a man can't can't find their Z why because of this sin it fixes that it fixes their mind they're able to learn and kazal also say that it could fix a person's Vision now I read this in books and I've mentioned in the lecture but I also have a proof for it what's a proof one of my students one of my students I believe is in Atlanta just sent me an email the other day he tells me listen I'm not just thanking you because uh now we keep Shabbat and everything else I'm thanking you because my life has changed how did it change he says I used to wear glasses used to wear glasses a driver he drives at night drives in a day a truck driver so he needs to see I used to wear glasses ever since I started watching your started protecting my bleed stopped eating non kosher stopped watching pornography fixed my eyes fixed my bleed I don't need glasses anymore he says sometimes I use them in the house sometimes sometimes but on the road at night I don't need them I don't glasses I have an email he's going to write this put this on the website you see it's not I'm not making this up I had one woman tell me her kid used to be very uh Disturbed mentally I told you guys a story the husband stopped wasting seed the kid became healthier countless stories of people literally their entire reality changes because of this T because of this T specifically hem hates it hates it I'll give you a uh K about this topic just like we have the Corona virus Corona is now also a another name for the male member part of the male member which leads me to believe that it's not a happen stance because the go they have have no problem uh with promiscuity or even beastiality in homosexuality which is usually where most diseases start from promiscuity homosexuality bestiality all of them come from immorality it's not a happen stance that Corona virus is called that Hashem made somebody decide to call that because it has to do with that it's not because they ate bats like people think they've been eating bats for a long time nothing ever happened before it's because they did something that Hashem got fed up with now also if you noticed one of the tools of the Satan to make people uh remain promiscuous without worrying about bringing any children to the world is by using what they call Protection they don't realize that eventually it's going to be prosecution not protection but they use condoms and the most popular condom company in the world is what troan Trojan what's the picture of the Trojan it's a Roman it's a horse but on the picture on it it's not a horse where has Trojan come from comes from the Tora who's Trojan the one of the Greek gods one of the Greek gods of promiscuity one of the Greek gods of Filth one of the idolatries of the Romans what was his name trun TR J an instead of T J and Tran's wife gave birth in mid Jeremiah says to us ex this um how did this whole happen how did we get to a point where we got punished so badly with the BET mikash and so on says Tran's wife gave birth on when the Jews were seen mourning in public and one of the reasons why we got uh this this child passed away in kanuka and the Jews Kindle kanuka lights when our people's enemies related these events to the emperor's wife she urged our husband to avenge these acts of disrespect and he set out a ship planning to reach is in 10 days and he arrived in five so in the war part of the war is that is was sinning against theem but they thought that everything was okay because they still kept the biblical holiday kanuka but when the uh emperor's wife saw that they're celebrating when her son just died she sold her husband what they're doing he sent his soldiers to start killing and instead of him arriving in 10 days he arrived in five which means he saw them partying while his son is uh dead but also thear says that tran is not just a uh Emperor but he was named actually after the uh the god the Roman uh God of uh promiscuity and so on fertility and other things now this Trojan in the the Greek god or the uh the emperor is exper was killing children and you see here that tro of today same thing expertise to kill children you think it was a happen stance you think it was a happen stance that Trojan and tragan no I'm going to give you my until now I just read you the mid what's my K when you write Trojan TR o JN right Trent is TR so what's the difference one has an o one has an a rest of it is the same the letter A that you write well it's not the first not capitalized it's in the middle of the word how do you write it it's a little circle with a line next to it what does that look like also if you switch it this way sperm sperm seed that's what it looks like what's the difference seed so it looks like an upside down or a sideways turned seed so we see that Hashem gives people specific ideas to name things to go to places to do certain things not for no reason everything has a reason everything is named for a reason hasem doesn't have anything that's beyond his control everything is within his control everything now the only thing that we can decide is whether we're going to listen to him or not once we decide to listen to him he Manu manipulates and Maneuvers the world in order to fit that decision of you doing what he wants when we decide to do things that are against him he now REM Maneuvers the world and reshapes the world into a place where when we go against him when a person does complete Chua for wasting seed he is allowing Hashem to do what Hashem wants which is to REM maneuver and manipulate the world in a good way to give you all the good that he's wanted to give you for 3,000 years in essence every single day that you protect your bre every single day you protect your eyes every single day that you do chuva you are doing AEM the greatest thing you possibly can be doing for him which is you're allowing him to give you good and he changes nature nature and manipulates nature all over again just for you because you stayed strong for another day you stayed strong another day you didn't go with your boyfriend you didn't go with your girlfriend you didn't go with yourself you stayed strong for for another day that's a big deal Hashem changes the world all over again just for you if a person really thinks about it that's enough of a reason to do Chua it's enough of a reason to do Chua that's what that's what you want you want to give you good person doesn't do Chu it's not it's not a good decision not in this world not the next one more question two more questions then we're done why is referred to in different ways for you're talking about a specific verse you're reading just through out all the way up to Exodus it says yeah okay right so far so nation of Israel it's because we're a nation saidov is because our uh most immediate forefather out of Abraham is and yob was Yakov why Yakov cuz AB gave bir gave had two sons he had and he had Ishmael he had gave birth to yov but ishma gave birth to all the isim all the Arabs all the Muslims so in essence two nations came from Ab two nations came from abam is had yov and asav two nations came from asav is the Christians and the Catholics and the yov is the Jews yov all of his sons all 12 of his sons was am so that's why we are called the house of of yov and that's we also called Israel in general because yov had two names yov and is now we're called B is and we're also called is for another reason B is is the sons of yov is is the nation of isra meaning we were B is before mat we're still noahides so we're called the Sons of yov but after mat we became Jews because what makes you a Jew is if you follow the Torah or not not if you have a beard not if you have a hat there's plenty of Jews without a beard good Jews plenty of Jews that don't wear a hat that are good Jews plenty of bad ones with a hat and with a beard the hat and a beard and the uniform will make you a good Jew what makes you good Jews if you follow the Torah there's plenty of Jews that are black there plenty of Jews that are white plenty of Jews that are Chinese plenty of Jews that are in India I got one one uh young in Manipur Manipur you guys complain about oh my house is not big enough or oh my car is old in manapur some place don't have running water you understand running water this sadik in Manipur just wrote us a translation on the new blessing that we're coming out with in a in a day or so Ines for forish have a new blessing he wrote me a transliteration because he knows we deal with a lot of uh a lot of bicha a lot of converts that don't know how to read Hebrew but they want to do the blessing so he took the time he read the blessing and he gave us he wrote he wrote the whole transliteration on the whole thing hours of work hours of work where is he he's in manapur none of you probably even heard of this place he showed me pictures of what the town looks like the whole town you could probably buy with just half a house of yours the whole town but he has time to learn to non-stop what's our excuse what's our excuse he can learn to over there how come we have excuse oh I don't have the books he doesn't have the books either but he reads them online oh nobody has an excuse why because you have Manore meaning there Jews of all types what's the difference it doesn't matter where you live you could live in manapur you could live in USA you could live in Israel you could live in h Germany you could be radik any place that's the difference between uh us and theim are going to find excuses us we're going to try to eliminate those excuses we try to overcome those excuses we'll have those excuses sometimes but we realize that full of it so overcome it find a way to learn T find a way to Dov when this mitvah come into play after we received the T at Mount sa before mat M sa we were not obligated to learn T we're only obligated to keep the seven Noah hide laws after uh Mount we all became Jews we accepted the Torah which means we accepted upon ourselves the obligation to learn Torah every day not all day doesn't have to be 24 hours a day but you have to learn a little bit every day a little in the morning a little at Night by little I don't mean like 30 seconds by little you know a real amount of time point being that if you're just starting out you haven't learned your whole life you committing to three four hours a day it's going to be too much I started with 15 minutes a day when I first started doing Chu eventually it got too many many hours but the point being is that everybody has to start somewhere somewhere that's something but every day every day why because if you learn to every day that's a potion to overcome the it's telling you to stop that's telling you to do sins young guys that come to me for to help them and guide them in the issues of wasting seed most important thing I tell them is to learn the sh that we have about the topic to learn to every day every single time they contact me say I was going strong for two weeks I was going strong for two months I was going strong for six months but then I fell 99.9% of the time is because they skipped the day of learning Torah one day they didn't stop for a week one day they skipped why you need that t to overcome that sin you need it without learning T you're not going to overcome it it's about of time when you say learning to there are many seculars who don't even know what talking about literally don't know anything you tell you have to learn Tora it's like what like go to no go to open the book and read it first of all in English because we're in America first of all in English yeah it's just like reading uh read a book yeah yeah so so is that it learning to is very simple I didn't know anything that's why I don't ever make fun of anybody else who doesn't know anything because I know that most of the time I know less than them I knew less than them I only know what I know now is because I've been learning before you learned you didn't know anything nobody's a uh you know knows everything on day one so as far as a person starting out what does learning to mean learning t means that you are going to learn different parts of the T every single day and there's different ways to learn the most common way to learn T is to watch to watch this to attend the Sho you could watch it online if you're close by you could attend the SHO if you're close to it's much better for you to attend it than to watch it online if you're not close to then obviously watch it online we have us on on our website b.org you're we're on YouTube We're on Facebook we're on WhatsApp we're in pretty much every uh place that there's people we make sure that we put there you can reach us so watching shim is the most common way that people learn T today especially people that are not in uh the FR world where they're not in the religious World their whole life they're not in a cola they're not a someone that's dedicated to it their whole life but even people in the religious world watch everybody watches uh to some extent I have rabbis that call me on a regular basis ask me questions about my shuin because they watch them it's not just B watch us there's many people from all over the world that watch our shim as a matter of fact one Rabbi was supposed to attend T he's visiting from Costa Rica he was supposed to come today but he couldn't make it but he's a rabbi that's been watching me for years it's a rabbi he not a b he's a rabbi many rabbis watch the and they watch it in their own time in the car in the house whenever they have time and there also new people that are not religious that watch the shim that's one form of learning T another form of learning toah that a person needs to do at some point maybe not on day one because maybe it's difficult for some people because it's easier to learn when someone is speaking than perhaps from the books but a person needs to learn T from the books the first book that a person needs to read is the Five Books of Moses read the five books of Moses with commentary by Rashi at least have an understanding of what makes you a Jew where did you come from where did it all start Five Books of Moses is the best way to start simply because you need to connect to what happened in the past if you haven't read the five books of Moses it's very very hard for you to be spiritually strong because you're always going to have doubts in your head of maybe this and maybe that you have to read the five Books of Moses and in reality it's one of the that a Jew has to read the every week and he has to complete the Kash every single year more than once three times or actually twice and twice with basic and what commentary meaning every week you have to read the same parasa twice twice uh the parasa and one commentary why you need to know what's going on you need to know why you're a Jew now that's how you start with with the Kash the five books of Moses aside from that you have to read M books musar books are character development ethics the whole purpose of the Torah is not just for you to uh you know keep uh keep sukot and PES and uh and uh Shabbat it's also for you to become a better quality human being the Torah teaches that in the five books of Moses and the M books show you where and how we learned this lesson of Ethics here and we learned this lesson of Ethics there so you have to learn M books you also have to learn is there are books countless books about the laws what to do every day the laws of the laws a that a person needs to learn for day-to-day life what do you do when you first wake up in the morning uh what do you do after you wake up do you wash your hands do you jump in an ocean do you jump off a building which one do you do it tells you uh do you wash your hands with some with a uh with oil or do you wash your hands with water it tells you that also do you eat before you pray or do you pray and then you eat tells you that too it's a second answer you pray then you eat uh what's say uh you know what what do you do after that when are you you know can you just study whenever you feel like it or do you have to make it the same time every day uh do you uh how do you uh treat your parents how do you treat your wife how do you treat your boss how do you treat treat your employees if I work for somebody can I uh can I just uh take a personal phone call I work for somebody I work for a company okay and my phone rings can I take that call my friend's calling me my mom's calling me my cousins calling me and I know they like to chitchat a little bit in the afternoon can I can I take the call now how come most people take the call you said no right not are you allowed allowed not allowed during work no not allowed you're saying yes you're saying no you're confused like stealing their time if you take a personal phone call during work you are stealing gazel oh you want to oh no I don't take calls I'm just text messaging for five hours a day I work I get paid for the day but I'm texing for five hours a day every two seconds with the text messaging you're stealing that's shabat not have to play with your phone no no not that for many for many people let me answer one question at a time now you work for somebody you have to understand first number first rule of working for somebody stop stealing from him stop stealing from her stop stealing that's the first rule why a guy opens a restaurant to do what to make money not for you to steal from him you're going to steal from him go work for somebody else that's what a guy wants a business for to make money not to not for you to steal from him you want to steal go work for somebody else don't work for him why he doesn't want you to steal from him you got you're going to be on the phone all day while he's supposed to be working supposed to be cooking supposed to be cleaning supposed to be whatever it is supposed to be doing in this company you're stealing from the guy say wait a minute can I listen to during work if the boss says that you're allowed to listen to something because it doesn't disturb your job no problem allowed but text messaging and phone calls surely disturb your job you have to have you have to have patience for the rabbi to stop sneaking and you also have to have patience for you to stop working you have a lunch break you have a time to go home you have a time to go to work why that's rule number one that's what the Torah teaches you stop stealing you know why I'm I'm focusing on stealing because almost every single person almost every single person's a thief in sh almost every single person's a thief says it why because we don't delve into the rules and we're thinking why what's the big deal it was just 10 minutes wow was just 10 was just 10 minutes I was on the phone just 10 minutes I was a texting it was just 10 minutes 10 minutes each hour guess what after a 10hour day that's a lot more than 10 minutes it's it's almost two hours 10 minutes every hour it's almost two hours he's not paying you for uh for for eight hours he's paying you for 10 hours your th have to come back in a g maybe as a horse a cat something it's going to serve him or you learn you learn these stop stealing the M books are going to teach you some of these things to be be careful of this stuff why because a person needs to know if you work for somebody that means they're buying your time if you have a lenient boss and you ask permission boss listen I got an important call can I take it do you mind if I'm on the phone as long as it doesn't disturb my job he says okay she says okay no problem you can do it but if you just decide for yourself no he won't mind you're a thief you're a thief you have to come back in G keep Shabbat everything you do you have to come back in G reincarnation so a person needs to know this is the basics Al Basics person doesn't learn doesn't learn the laws of Judaism he could live 80 90 years thinking he's a kosher Jew he's 100% Thief so what does he do he has to has to learn and start okay I didn't keep it till now what could I do okay you give a little you pray to hm I'm sorry I didn't know it was sh gig it was accidental Sin from now on that's it when I'm working I'm working when I'm uh eating I'm eating when I'm having fun I'm having fun why cuz that's what you're doing you want to do whatever you want you have to work for yourself work for yourself and guess what your profit and law statement won't look good if you're on the phone half the day it won't look as good you'll realize oh you know what I don't have time for these calls I don't have time for these personal calls I got to work I got to make money so that's things that's why it's part of the reason why you have to learn Al every day you learn a few one 2 three three five 10 every day whether man or woman you have to learn something every day why you need to know how to live as a Jew so is one of the things you have to learn you have to learn you have to learn you have to learn how to pray all of these different things now you can't learn everything in one day so you learn a little bit every day little by little it accumulates to more and more it becomes you become a now you can ask your followup question but still you're cut off I mean it sounds impossible is that why only two from 500,000 uh left Egypt oh it's impos sounds impossible to keep the you keep you keep Shabbat for 80 years yeah then you turn on the light switch and that's it you're cut off cuz you said you're cut off the whole thread is cut you cut it from the nation you don't go anywhere so you spent your whole life 80 years keeping shabab perfect what do you mean intentionally it turned it on why would they want to do that after 80 years okay accidental we had a but you're cut off completely who's making the rules here you him which religion are we starting so wait sorry are you asking the question you answering it which one is it oh he's answering the question he's the rabbi now you're both going to lose if you continue so asking him what he meant by his question I can ask to okay so so what's question now stop talking stop talking let me answer now you ask the question I speak English Hebrew also okay now first of all there's an if there's a rabbi and someone ask a question you're forbidden from answering the question that's number one somebody asks you why what are you allowed to drive on Shabbat the rabbi's in the room you're not allowed to answer why that's against the Torah that's number one number two I speak I could hear no one has to help me if I need help I'll ask you guys for advice number three AEM does say that you could lose just like that but not like you said you can lose just like that but not like you said how did I say I'll explain if a person makes an intentional sin that's one of the sins that are 36 the one of the sins even if he kept all of the good things he kept Shabbat he kept he kept K he kept everything but he's 80 years old and he decides you know what I'm going to take a drive on Shabbat to he knows a sin he did it on purpose he's da driving on Shabbat yes he just lost even though he kept it for 80 years but he did an intentional sin he lost he decided listen I kept everything for so many years and but uh this girl is really cute even though she's not my wife even though she's not Jewish I want to go with her he did it he lost all so yes it does happen just like that but that's when it's an intentional sin if it's not an intentional sin it's sh it's by accident he forgot at chabbat and he turned on the light he forgot it chabbat and he got into the car but then he real oh no and he got out of the car it's accident hasm doesn't uh want to send you to gay just because he knows accidents are going to happen he knows accidents are going to happen so if it's an accidental sin you don't losea you get punished but you don't lose how what is the best way to losea a bad attitude saying it's impossible that's how you lose L that's why four fifths four fifths of the Lost why they said listen go in the desert it's impossible to survive there now let me ask you a question you think God is a monster like Manis fredman says if your father says to you my dear son go make me some coffee does that indicate that he knows that you can make it or he knows you can't make it and he wants to see you fail if your father loves you he's only going to ask you to do things that he knows for sure you can do because or else or else he's a monster he's not going to ask you to lift an 18wheeler on top of your head or else you're going to Gom why because then he knows you can't do it might as well put your Gom anyway he's only going to ask you to do things that you can do you can do it it seems like a lot because you're starting from nothing and you're you're you feel like you're starting like you're behind but that's why I tell my personal story if I can do chuva and I can turn my life around and do everything that I'm doing today anybody in the world can do it I have seen people come out of church as pastors and now they've become rabbis I have seen people that were illiterate illiterate didn't know how to how to read and write became people that are serious I saw a young kid my own student young kid in the middle of nowhere in Africa completely different religion his father almost killed him because he told him I want to be a Jew his father shot him now he's in so what he can't do it you can't what God hates you God wants you to fail it all starts with your attitude don't expect to learn the entire to one day Hashem is not going to judge you based on the things you can't do he's going to judge you based on the things you can do you can read read you could read for an hour a day read for an hour a day you can read for 10 hours a day read for 10 hours a day you can watch you watch you point is that Hashem knows exactly what you're capable of doing and he's only giving you the things that you can do which means that every single person in the world can fulfill the entire Torah now it seems like hard because you're starting without even the knowledge of what you could do but no one is telling you that on day one you're expected to beim what are you expected to do you expected to start just like when you start working when I first started working on Wall Street you know what they paid me $250 a week I used to work 12 to 15 hours a day for $250 a week making 700 to 1,000 phone calls a day I Mr Jones this is that you want to buy this you want to buy that $250 a week 12 hours 14 hours a day why did I work for $250 a week what I had some uh some bad dream or something I was trying to run away from what what was I what was I smoking crack why why would anybody work so many hours for 250 bucks a week why it was never a lot of money 250 bucks a week why you I working such a long schedule 80 hours a week for 250 bucks you could work at McDonald's make more money why because I wanted the dream I wanted to be like the boss I wanted the guy to makes 250,000 a month that's so but I can't start that way I got to start as a little guy that everybody spits on I got to start as a little nobody that everybody makes fun of that's how I got to start I got to start something can't start as the big boss got to start somewhere though so that's how I started start with Jo 50 bucks a week one phone call two phone calls 5,000 10,000 100,000 phone calls little by little things start rolling before you know it you're making a th a week before you know you're making 5,000 a week before you know made a million and a half dollars in a day it didn't happen overnight but the dream was there the goal was there I was narrow focused that's where I want to be that's how people succeed in life anyone that's ever become a success in life is because they focused on something they narrowed it they eliminate all distractions all opinions all everything except that Focus you narrow your focus when I left W Street I had no intention of coming back I had simply a focus I want to work for hem people ask me all the time oh you want to get into business no why it's going to disturb my focus yeah but you're not making any money B about Focus though if hasem wants me to be rich I'll be rich doing this also the key is you have to focus What can you focus on what do you have today do something today whatever you can do you do it today you can pray three times today pray three times today you could read the K today one page two pages three pages that's what expects from you you come to stay here for two hours make less mistakes that's what a person needs to do first and foremost don't let the whole world tell you what you can and you can't do if a gave it for you to do you can do it you can do it all of it not on day one but you can do it over the long run you can do it over the long run you just have to be patient Hashem has been patient for 3,000 years he's waiting for you 3,000 years is waiting for you he's waiting for you to convert he's waiting for you to become a righteous Jew he's waiting for you to do chuva he's waiting for you to marry aik aik he's waiting for you for three th000 years so what you expect him to give you everything in one second doesn't work that way you have to earn it you have to earn it Judaism is not the lotto you don't just buy a ticket oh you have everything you have to acquire it every day a little bit more of it every day a little more AEM every day a little more of his Torah every day a little more every day every day every day and you're G to have a million and a half different tests every day and have a million and a half different opinions telling you you can't do it every day you know how many times people called me all types of names ah what are you doing all types of things till this day they do it they don't know anything about him but they decide who I am if I listen to even one opinion the good or the bad I would never make it one day either you become arrogant or depressed you listen to what hasem said hasem says do it you do it you focus you can do it you'll do it the mentality of it's impossible that's the Satan himself that's the Satan himself Satan is going to tell you you can't do it I'm going to lose anyway I'm going go to G home anyway that's the loser mentality you have to eliminate it like amalik you have to eliminate that mentality your father in Heaven loves youm loves you that's why he's waiting for you for 3,000 years if he hated you I promise you you would not be in this world you would be in Gom ring with Yos that's where you would be you would be in Gom right now r and boiling feces with Muhammad with Hitler that's where you would be if hasem hated you the fact that you're in this world that means Hashem loves you and he's waiting for you but don't think he's going to wait forever last chance you got a chance you're 20 years old you're 30 years old you're 40 years old you're 50 years old you're 80 years old like the woman I met early this week or last week she finally realized she's a Jew she's 79 years old guess what Shem waited for 3,300 Years Part of That 3,300 years 79 years in this world from now on clock sticking now you know your Jew now you know what you need to do do it every day every day every day every day if you're committed Hashem will open I have rabbis asking me all the time how how is it possible that you're only religious for an x amount of years but you know more than the how is that possible what what do you have like you are extra no nothing when you help people hm gives you different things special gift for doing certain things point being is nothing special about me all I do is I commit I commit I have a focus that's it that's all I care about that's the only thing that I could say that's maybe a little bit different from other people the rest of it same thing Flesh Blood everything else but even the focus you could do also just that most people are failures most people are just not willing to commit they want everything in one day so you have to focus on on the prize and do whatever you can today Hashem gave it to you that means you can do it and you will any last question if you can pass the mic yeah um I have a question um one of my roommates has a pet snake right so has a what a pet snake a pet snake yeah where is he trying to re re uh relive the story yeah so like it actually leads to that so I looked at it and I'm like whatever it's cool right and um I'm like wait I saw the shape of the snake and they remind me of the sh the shape of the of the spermatozoid of the sperm no so my question is is what's the H hush um because Adam and Eve the sin of giving birth was given as a punishment after listening to the snake right uh well anguish during birth yeah okay so the creator of actually the size the shape of everything right no so what's the what's the hih the connection why the sperm look like the snake because of the sin you're saying I don't know so what's the question what's the hies that's my question it's your no it's not a I'm asking this why is the snake shaped the way he shaped yeah why is the the the sperm and the shape the sperm and the snake shape very simar simar well there's a lot of things that are that shape I mean you could also say about lizards alligators many different types of reptiles I mean technically you could uh look at different things that are similar shape uh the few things that you could connect the snake to uh the promiscuity and so on is zos says that the reason why the snake the serpent wanted a to uh to eat from the uh from the the tree of knowledge is because he wanted AEM to kill Adam because he wanted her to be his wife he wanted to marry him so when he saw that this is not happening he actually raped he raped uh and that's how the entered our body the the body that yet that we have in us today is from the seed of the is from the seed of the serpent that's said the entered our body so everybody has a from that from that uh uh rape if you will that the uh had with so he was a beautiful creature before hasem changes nature and so on he was actually supposed to be the king of all the animals uh but uh so you can connect certain things to that perhaps because he lost control made a sin now he looks like the seed itself that's a possibility I've never read it anywhere so I can't really say that's a uh a a Torah thought but it is very possible uh it's it's interesting but uh the whole issue of a uh promiscuity in general is something that uh whether it be wasting seed homosexuality beastiality all of these immoral uh immoral sins we see that if you look deep into the Torah you'll see that this sin is part of the uh T from the beginning of the Torah and practically in every par until the end of the Torah there is a uh and one of the reasons is that the foundation of kadus the foundation of of Holiness starts with morality meaning if you eat a certain way it doesn't make you holy for example if you eat like an animal it makes you look like an animal but if you eat with your mouth closed and you don't make extra sound you know you're not becoming the uh the the music in the background for anyone that's may make you polite may make you you know good mannered if you will at least for your eating but it doesn't make you holy now if you're generous let's say you like to give a lot of staka you're giving a bunch of money every month you're very very generous it doesn't make you holy doesn't make you holy because you're generous because there are plenty of people that are vicious people that are generous so burning made off was very very generous the only problem is he was generous with other people's money that he stole but still nonetheless he was generous so generosity does not make you holy certain manners do not make you holy um you know what makes a person holy when he takes the physical and sanctifies it which part of the physical his his own intimacy when you make intimacy into something spiritual into something that's holy you become holy because that means that from that moment on you're going to look at your organs your uh your reproductive organs as a way to connect to hem as a way to do the will of hem as a way to in essence bring Holiness into the world not just because Holiness comes from a child it's not necessarily just that's not Holiness by itself Holiness could be how you take a shower Holiness could be be how you behave when you're on BET on on a toilet seat Holiness can be how you get dressed and undressed if you get dressed and undressed just in a room walking around like you're a uh you know you're in a zoo and you're one of the zebras and you're walking around half naked or naked completely there's nothing holy about you if you go to a mik and you walk around without a towel there's nothing holy about you you shouldn't even dip in the mik you ruin the mik the mik was pure before you dipped into it you around naked without a care in the world you don't feel embarrassed you don't feel embarrassed to cover this there's nothing holy about you what is Holiness Holiness is taking those reproductive organs and realizing this is a way to either desecrate hashem's name or sanctify it that's why the issues of K are talked about in which is also the par that talks about the issues of of morality whether it be homosexuality uh uh uh promiscuity and so on and so forthem says you be holy CU I am Holy and kazal says how can one be holy by making themselves a moral person meaning treat your sexuality as something that is a way to serve hem if a woman knows that her sexuality is a way to serve hem she will never flaunt she will never flaunt her good looks to the General Public she'll show it to her husband with no problem but to the general public never never why that's my Holiness that belongs to my husband not married okay that belongs to hasem no one is allowed to see me that way no one's allowed to see certain body parts no one why it's AEM when she's intimate with her own husband she knows she's only allowed to do it a certain time of the month she's only she only allowed to do it certain way certain this certain that so even though a husband and a wife are technically allowed to be intimate in different ways the ram writes he writes you're allowed to do whatever you want with your wife but don't ever waste seed but even then that doesn't make you holy just you're doing a kosher thing you want to be holy even the way you're intimate with your wife as far as the position has to be a certain way has to be the traditional way not the animalistic way that they have in the world modeling ourselves after dogs and cats and and all types of uh animals body yourself as to a human being why because yes you're allowed to do certain things but if you want to get to a higher level of Holiness you even have to have AEM in your mind during that time during that time you're allowed to have fun you're allowed to enjoy no problem but a person that wants to make themselves holy also thinks how can I bring AEM even into a time like that into a time like that this people that understand this stuff they pray and learn before they're intimate they're not like the movies they get aroused because they saw a movie ah and they start going crazy in the middle of the living room like some animal no it doesn't work that way people that are holy they do things they enjoy even more than everybody else but a different way different way so a person wants to be holy he has to look at his kadus his as the foundation of how to become holy so this is a very very critical we'll have we have a about kosher intimacy online it's had tens of thousands of views on the internet so uh I think that anyone that's married should watch it if you're not married you have to be careful with it because it could lead you to have certain Thoughts with that being said we'll continue next week on Sunday we're back here bem uh with a another lecture but also we have uh uh the uh 25th the 24th and 25th we're going to be in new York uh and on the uh 16th and 17th we're going to be in Canada so uh just uh pay attention to the schedule on our website uh if you're in those locations come to the lectures if you're here then watch me online we'll learn a little bit more next week [Music]
